Winn Filter/Priming System

I replaced the original Winn system after the pump failed during a recent road trip.  The Raycor model 790R30 is an easy to install replacement, but the controls need to be installed within close proximity of the unit for two reasons. The wiring is shorter than the original unit and the button needs to be held to operate. As this is an area that could see water I installed the controller in a food storage container.

Hi Bob,
    Is the electric box/start button the original, or is it a new piece? Was there any fitting changes necessary? How expensive was this piece?
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,
The controller is new. I was able to reuse the straight fitting, replacing the "o" ring and bought an additional one. The filter unit was $273
